I was forced to leave the world of immortal cultivation after being transformed into a loser.

Ling Shi carried the body of the male mermaid and led everyone out of the forbidden area, handing the body to the guards.

Take everyone to the city gate.

When the king traveled, the ceremony was grand and luxurious, and he was accompanied by a team of guards who kept a strict order, and civilians were not allowed to approach.

At this time, the patriarch rushed over and saw nine people coming out alive, but he didn't say anything.

Seeing him swimming towards them, everyone became alert.

Yun Lizhi pointed at him and said, "The king said he wouldn't hunt us down, but he's here now, isn't he?"

Xiao Ju also said: "Wang, do you remember what you said?"

Ling Shi: "...Is it possible that he came to see you off?"

Qiao Zhiwen said with a gloomy face: "Don't just say goodbye and then kill you behind your back!"

The patriarch looked at their wary expressions and ignored them.

He stepped forward and bowed to Ling Shi, who spoke to him in a human voice, "They will swear an oath from the devil's heart. Don't kill them again."

The clan leader whispered, "Actually, I'm not someone who kills indiscriminately. Since you're willing to swear a heart-demon oath, I'll ensure your safe departure."

Xiao Judao: "As the head of the clan, you must keep your word." After all, he had a criminal record.

The patriarch said, "That's natural."

After saying that, he raised his hand and said, "Please."

Gu Liyue and the others looked at each other.

"I pledge my blood, and heaven and earth bear witness. If I reveal everything about Meiyin City, I will die."

Each of the nine people squeezed out a drop of blood from their wounds, which drifted into the sea. A few muffled thunders sounded in the sky, and the inner demons swore their vows.

The patriarch looked at the sky through the sea, felt the thunder from the sky, and nodded with satisfaction.

"We will meet again later!"

Gu Liyue and the others also replied: "See you later!"

The nine people were sent out of the Charming Sound City and reached the surface of the sea. They watched as the Charming Sound City disappeared into the sea.

Li Xiuyuan looked around and said, "We don't know the direction, how are we going to find the Haiyan?"

Nie Hengzhou looked at the sky and found that it was almost the last time agreed with the captain.

It was indeed difficult to determine the direction on the sea, especially at night, and no one knew which direction the Haiyan was heading.

At this time, looking at the sun, it should be afternoon. The sea surface was sparkling under the sunlight, and the sun was slowly approaching the sea level.

Just when everyone felt cold in their hearts.

There was a faint sound of a horn, and Gu Liyue recognized it as the horn of the Haiyan, which she had heard when the ship was sailing.

Xiao Ju asked excitedly: "What's that sound?"

Seeing that no one responded, he thought of Su He's previous situation and was shocked and asked, "Am I the only one who heard it?"

At this time, hearing the horn, they guessed that the Haiyan was nearby, believing that the captain had kept his promise, and their mood became very good. Everyone looked at him with great interest.

Xiao Ju's expression was even more unpredictable, and he was nervous inside.

Gu Liyue then said, "Everyone heard the obvious horn sound. You don't think the Mermaid King is coming to kidnap anyone again, do you?"

Wen Qinnuan said, "I heard it too."

Xiao Ju scratched his shaved head and pouted: "If you guys don't tell me, how would I know?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the Haiyan, coated in a golden layer under the setting sun, coming towards them, and another horn sounded.

Everyone's face was filled with joy.

Gu Liyue poured her spiritual power into her voice and shouted, "Captain, we are here."

As the sun was about to sink below the sea level, the captain stood on the mast, thinking about the agreement he had made with them.

Although he was convinced they would never return, he still wanted to fulfill his promise, just in case! He decided to drive another two or three miles in the direction the mermaids were heading, then sound the horn again to see if there was any response.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the second horn sounded, I heard the voice of the nun: "Captain, we are here."

He immediately ordered the boatman to go forward to pick them up. He didn't know how many of the nine people who had gone would have returned, and whether they were injured.

Nine people dried their clothes and rested on the deck.

The captain, who thought they would never return, went into his cabin after confirming that there were nine people aboard and they were all safe and sound.

It seems that these people are quite capable. Although their cultivation is not high, they were able to return from the mermaids. They should not be underestimated.

The other passengers looked at them curiously, wanting to see what made them so special.

Gu Liyue suddenly felt the spiritual power in her body surge. She wanted to suppress it again, but it seemed that the spiritual power could not be suppressed, and the barrier of the ninth level of foundation building was constantly impacted.

Seeing this, her friends stayed by her side to protect her.

She had no choice but to sit down and meditate. At this time, the spiritual power around her formed a spiritual power vortex, which kept spinning above her head and then poured directly into Gu Liyue's body. Gu Liyue only felt that the meridians in her body were constantly being washed.

With a "hum", the nine-layer barrier was broken.

After a moment, Gu Liyue opened his eyes and advanced to the ninth level of foundation building.

The other monks were stunned. They had thought that they must have been seriously injured after escaping death, but they did not expect to be promoted as soon as they returned. What kind of person is this? It is so easy for him to be promoted.

"Shouldn't promotions take place in seclusion for a while? Why did she seem to be chatting there, and then she got promoted?"

"Yes, is this the gap between independent cultivators and sect disciples?"

"Not really. My uncle's nephew's neighbor's aunt's son is in the sect. I heard that it's not that easy to get promoted!"

"Oh, is it so?"

"Yes, I heard that they also need to take Qi-boosting pills and go to a place with rich spiritual energy for seclusion before they can advance."

Zhou Liyan and Li Wen listened to everyone's discussion and felt that this female monk was not an ordinary person. They were thinking about how to get close to her.

Xiao Ju: "Gu Liyue, you've advanced!"

Yun Lizhi also envied Gu Liyue for being able to advance so easily: "Liyue, you are amazing!"

Qiao Zhiwen knew that she was in the alchemy class and that everyone could advance after refining pills. He wasn't surprised to see her advance right there.

Gu Liyue was in high spirits and nodded.

Looking at Su He, he said, "This is a blessing in disguise. As long as we all work together, we can overcome any difficulties."

Su He looked at everyone and said, "Thank you everyone."

Xiao Ju said: "There is no need to say this among us."

……

The next morning, they arrived at Liuli Island. They should have arrived the previous afternoon, but because they had to pick up Gu Liyue and the others, it took them half a day longer.

The Haiyan docked at Liuli Island. The monks on board disembarked, the boatmen rested, and waited for the monks who wanted to return to Xiyun City to board the ship.

Gu Liyue and the others looked at Liuli Island. The beach where they got off the boat was flat and everything looked beautiful.

Zhou Liyan came over. She finally saw who was the one making the decision among the nine people. She looked at Gu Liyue and said, "Congratulations on your advancement."

Gu Liyue nodded coldly.

"I heard you were taken away by the mermaids. Was it fun?"

Gu Liyue looked at her like an idiot. Is this something "fun"?

But she still followed Zhou Liyan's lead and said, "...It's pretty good."

Friends: “???”
